Popis: INTRODUCTION[|]The aim of this study was to evaluate the macular choroidal thickness (CT) in patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and compare the results with healthy individuals.[¤]METHODS[|]Thirty eyes of 30 patients newly diagnosed with OHT and 24 eyes of 24 healthy controls were included in this cross-sectional study. After a detailed ophthalmological examination, macular CT was measured with enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) (Cirrus HD-OCT, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) at the fovea and at positions 500 µ, 1000 µ, 1500 µ nasal and temporal to the fovea. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the CT measurements between groups. The correlation between the mean deviation, pattern standard deviation, and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) and CT was evaluated with the Spearman correlation coefficient. Statistical significance was accepted as p
